Software

Well, let's face it -- this is what we do :)

The main reason for the existence of Mirality Systems is for the software
that I write; though do bear in mind that this is more of a hobby than a
day-job, which is why there isn't all that much of it here.

The Software

At the moment, there are three main programs that I've made publically available:

This is a handy little program that will add a randomly selected quote to the bottom of your email or newsreader signature, and (if requested) will switch quotes at regular intervals.

At the moment, this program is undergoing a massive overhaul (and an almost complete rewrite), so isn't available right now. If you're interested, send me some feedback and let me know; if enough people are interested I might either put the old version back up or give higher priority to development of the new version.

Perhaps you've heard of the Pueblo MUD client, originally developed by Chaco Communications, Inc? Well, this is the new and improved version.

Basically, Pueblo/UE is a client program that allows you to connect to and interact with all sorts of virtual worlds on the Internet; for example, MUDs, MUSHes, and MOOs. If you haven't even heard of those before, you should probably read the in-depth description on the Pueblo page. A couple of brief summaries that'll give you the basic idea, however: a world could be similar to either a multiplayer text adventure game, or a chathouse (like a chatroom, but a lot bigger, and you can move around in it) -- and frequently both.

I've used Inno Setup quite a bit, and it's by far my favourite installer.
I'm pretty active in the Inno newsgroups (at least at the moment), but I
thought I'd help out a bit more by posting some handy little snippets that
I use myself. If you've ever created an installer with Inno Setup, you
should have a look.

Other Software

I've also written a great many other programs that aren't really in a
releasable state at the moment, although in some cases it wouldn't take
too much work to get them that way. Some of these I wrote for my own use,
some of them I wrote just to see if I could, or just for fun.

Here's a list of some of the ones that are closest to completion, and
that I think other people might be interested in; if anybody is interested
in using one of these, send me some feedback and I might make a public
release out of them.

Resource browser for several versions of You Don't Know Jack
(including the ability to read the questions, play the sounds, and
listen to the end-of-game commercials)

Vortex contents manipulator for Black and White

Savegame world data browser for Dungeon Siege

Note: I don't condone cheating in games (most especially not in
multiplayer games). In most cases when I wrote a program that could
allow such I did it just for fun (and to see if I could), after I had
finished playing the game in question.
